Bishop's Wall

Ryan Edward Bishop was a business major at Westminster College. He was well known and much beloved on campus for his kind and joyful disposition and for his passion for Utah’s mountain landscape. Ryan took great pleasure in sharing his love for the outdoors with friends and fellow students, particularly those who were experiencing the outdoors for the first time.

Ryan passed away on April 28, 2011. Bishop’s Wall was dedicated to him on October 27, 2011, to honor his love of adventure, challenge and fellowship. Climb for Bishop!

The Indoor Climbing Wall offers 46 vertical feet of top-roped and lead climbing routes of all levels. The Eldorado wall boasts sustained overhangs, a crack system, and challenging boulder problems. Our experienced student instructors teach introductory classes, lead climbing, belay certification, and climbing technique clinics. Every year we host competitions for Westminster students as well as the annual intercollegiate competition, special events for groups on campus, academic classes, and activities to get you more involved with climbing!

The Outdoor Bouldering Wall is a "use at your own risk" facility on the west side of the Bassis center. There are designated poles at the Outdoor Bouldering Wall that slacklines may be set up on!

Students in our Intro to Backcountry Skiing/Snowboarding class got to enjoy some new snow last weekend. We hope you're all enjoying winter's return to Utah. Have fun, be safe!

Off to Indian Creek for the next 10 days with 106 cams (thanks friends), a new van, a bunch of awesome friends, and much much psych. And if you're wondering, yes that is a mural of my deceased cat on my wall. RIP Steve. #gearforgood #climbinglife

Despite being injured and not able to climb while I was in Moab, I still managed to have a pretty incredible trip. Time spent in the desert with good friends, pie, and a big starry sky to look at every night are key parts of any spring break if you ask me.

#westminsteroutdoors

Welcome back! We hope that everyone enjoyed their Spring Break. We got to go on a couple fun trips ourselves, with one group of students going backcountry skiing in Idaho, and another group going climbing in Ibex. We have a few more trips scheduled for the rest of the semester, visit our website for details!

Hi all. As part of this year's Share the Shred event, we are hosting an Outdoor Program gear swap, with proceeds benefiting a new Outdoor Program scholarship fund. The swap starts at 4pm on Saturday, April 25th, two hours before the start of the main event. The scholarship fund will provide assistance to students who want to participate in Outdoor Program trips, but are unable to afford the cost of the trips. Here are two ways you can contribute:
1). Donate any old or unused gear that you have. This includes every type of gear (except harnesses and ropes). Gear must be currently useable or useable with a reasonable amount of repair.
2). Participate in the swap. We will be selling a wide variety of gear at low prices. Come take a look and, if there's anything you need, pick it up. The swap will be cash only. Tell your friends!
Please consider helping to share the shred. Contact us with any questions. Thank you!

We're excited to be partnering with Promise South Salt Lake to provide middle school students with the chance to get outside. Here's a picture from a workshop we did last week at the Police Athletic League (PAL), teaching students some basic camping skills that they will use on a 3-day backpacking trip this summer.
